Are you a ninja?
Are you out of work?
Come to the 6th Borough and get immediate employment!
Chinese Food Delivery! Taco Delivery! Pizza Pie Delivery! Candy Delivery!
The Sixth Borough needs ninjas to deliver food.
Why?
Because of the GANGS.
Gangs, who strive so hard to be different from each other, are united in one thing:
copping hot food off of delivery guys. Stealing their bikes too.
In the 6th, having a delivery bike is STATUS.
The gang situation in Zaghaven is at Defcon-5. Or at Defcon-1. Whichever is the bad one.
Gangs are crazy here. Candy vapors provide gumption. Everyone gets carried away.
Styles, assisted by Venusian clothing merchants, light-up, turn invisible, and float.
Block Parties go for weeks, often giving music the opportunity to firm up, take on human form
and enjoy some BBQ. Corner chilling goes so deep it brings snow.
Dance Hall Nights can hold off the Sun itself till Suppertime the next day.
Fighting is devious. Cyber-tronics, telekinetics, skywriting. A favorite is to turn someone's
Pen Pal against them. Swapping a tagger's spraypaint for disappearing spraypaint.
Gang mascots, common in the 6th, are the favorite to fuck with.
Because there are cartoons in the 6th, erasing is big part of the violence. |

As a child I always thought Ninjas were the coolest. I'm pretty sure TMNT were partly responsible, but now I think the Samurai is the cool one.
ReplyDeleteDo yourself a favor and stop by the MET, specifically the Japanese Arms and Armor section and spend a few hours studying and absorbing the aesthetic and culture that is the samurai.
Also the "ninja" in the pic reminded me of the robot ninja from the BOTS MASTER cartoon show.
